Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator

Immediately, Xiahou Lan, who had a serious expression on his face, had a hint of joy in his eyes and answered.

"Yes."

This made the smiling expression on Guo Jia's face disappear instantly, and then he moved his butt to the position farthest away from Xiahou Lan.

However, Xiahou Lan's eyes turned and stared straight at Guo Jia.

At this moment, Guo Jia finally seemed to be afraid, so he calmed down for the time being.

Zhuge Liang looked back and forth between Guo Jia and Xiahou Lan for a while, and found that his two senior brothers seemed to be quite interesting people as well.

The venue for the "Grand Martial Arts Show" was actually just outside the north of Wu County. In order to save unnecessary waste, the viewing platform was not specially built, but was instead placed on the city wall in the north of Wu County.

In order to enhance the cohesion and sense of pride of local people, this "grand military performance" does not restrict local people from watching the ceremony.

However, the place where the people watched the ceremony was in a designated area outside the city.

By the time Li Ji's carriage arrived at the north city tower, most of the invited representatives of the princes and noble families had arrived, and the people outside the city could also be seen crowding together.

"How daring..."

As someone who had witnessed the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Sima Lang felt inexplicably frightened when he saw the tens of thousands of people gathered outside the city to watch the ceremony.

"Aren't you afraid that someone with ulterior motives will take advantage of the situation to incite the people and cause chaos?"

Once tens of thousands of people riot, the destructive power will be enormous. It is not impossible to take advantage of Wu County's unpreparedness and directly capture it in an instant.

Listening to Sima Lang's low voice of worry, Sima Yi's deep eyes moved, and he shook his head and said.

"With such popular sentiment, who would cause chaos?"

This remark made Sima Lang slightly stunned. Thinking back to what he had seen and heard in Wu County during this period of time, the people mostly used words of praise and respect for Liu Bei and Li Ji.

Sima Lang even tried to reveal some disrespect towards Liu Bei to an old farmer through his words. At that time, the old farmer waved his hoe as if he was going to hit Sima Lang in the field, which scared Sima Lang so much that he became more cautious in his words and actions in Wu County.

"Brother Yi is still very clear-sighted. With the people's support in your hands, why would you be afraid of the people causing chaos?"

There was inevitably a hint of sighing in Sima Lang's tone.

After all, looking at all the prefectures and counties in the world, according to Sima Lang's opinion, the people of Wu County should be the most popular. Isn't this a wonder in troubled times?
As the auspicious time approached, Liu Bei, who was originally resting in the tower, took Li Ji to the highest point of the tower.

"Boom boom boom!"

The exciting drumbeats quickly quieted down the people who had gathered outside the city in large numbers and were inevitably noisy, and all eyes began to gather in the direction of Liu Bei.

Even though the people below the city wall could not see Liu Bei's face clearly due to the distance, the eyes that looked at him were filled with respect and eagerness.

Wu County continued to accept homeless refugees for more than six years, which made the proportion of refugees in Wu County's population far greater than the local population.

And the refugees know best who has shone the light of benevolence upon them when they were suffering from hunger and cold, allowing them to have houses to live in, fields to cultivate, clothes to wear, food to eat, and to live and work in peace and contentment until now.

It is because of loss that we realize how precious everything we have now is.

Suddenly, before Liu Bei could speak, someone shouted, "Uncle Liu, please accept my greeting"...

For a moment, it was like a sudden opening for countless people who were grateful to Liu Bei to vent their emotions, and they all shouted "Uncle Liu, please accept my greeting." Suddenly, countless people outside the city bent down in large numbers, almost like autumn wind blowing through heavy wheat, and knelt down to salute in the direction of the city wall.

This scene stunned countless representatives of princes and aristocratic families on the city wall.

Even if you only have a little knowledge of Wu County, you will know what the people of Wu County think.

But countless people spontaneously knelt down and saluted Liu Bei, which was beyond everyone's imagination.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang's eyes, which were always clear and deep, were burning with passion. This is what the people want! This is what the people want!!!
Sima Yi's eyes were a little dull. He believed that people were all evil, that people ate each other when they were starving, and that people were no different from animals. However, this scene seemed to greatly impact Sima Yi's cognition.

Liu Bei's eyes were unconsciously filled with tears. He was so moved that he was at a loss for words. He spoke incoherently to Li Ji beside him.

"Zikun, Zikun, look at this... this, Bei... Bei, how can I deserve such a great gift from the people? I am just doing what a local official should do..."

For some reason, a smile appeared on Li Ji's face, and his eyes were gentle.

The people are not plants or trees, they are water and fish.

People are bound to be the first to feel the changes in the temperature of the water, but they are often unable to jump out.

It is for this reason that the people will inevitably support those benevolent people who truly pity them, rather than those who treat them like grass and trample on them and harvest them at will.

"My lord, hurry up and wake up the people."

Li Ji gently reminded Liu Bei, who was also very excited.

"Yeah!"

Liu Bei reacted and shouted, "Everyone, please get up quickly. You are unworthy of such a great honor."

Immediately, a team of a hundred people repeated in unison what Liu Bei had said so that his words could be clearly heard by everyone.

However, what responded to Liu Bei were the somewhat confusing and seemingly grateful answers from the people below.

It's very confusing, I can't hear clearly...

But Liu Bei clearly felt the simple gratitude that every citizen wanted to express. They had nothing and seemed to have nothing to repay Liu Bei for saving their lives, so they could only express their gratitude in this way.

Afterwards, Liu Bei repeatedly appealed to the people three times, which made the people stand up from the ground one after another.

Seeing these scenes, the representatives of other princely families on the city wall felt their mouths dry and their backs chilled.

With such popular support, who can defeat Liu Bei in Wujun?
For a moment, some of the Yangzhou noble families who came to watch the ceremony lowered their heads inexplicably, ashamed and afraid of being noticed by others.

With the people protecting each other like this, not to mention that the "Anti-Wu Alliance" was defeated in Yangxian, even if it really rushed into the heart of Wu County, these people might spontaneously organize to resist the "Anti-Wu Alliance."

From the very beginning, there was no possibility for the "Anti-Wu Alliance" to succeed.

In Wu County, countless people probably only know Uncle Liu but not the emperor.

After Liu Bei managed to maintain this sudden change with great difficulty, he reorganized his words and spoke loudly.

"Since the traitor Dong caused chaos in the country, many heroes have gathered to fight against him. However, the government is increasingly deteriorating, the order in the nine provinces is no longer there, and the Han Dynasty seems to be declining..." (End of this chapter)
